Career & Technical Education

A trained workforce ensures robust economic development in Central Florida. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs provide the foundational training necessary for students to continue their post-secondary education and career pathway. The availability of high-quality education is also a major factor in business relocation decisions, which brings even more high-demand, high-wage jobs to our community.

CTE programs through Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS) provide students with rigorous, real-world learning opportunities. Nearly all teachers in these programs have worked in industry and are supported by a business advisory committee that identifies changing trends in the field.
